ABSTRACT

Bisexuality has become visible and controversial yet again, only now with its critics and defenders as never before. Recently, bisexuals have been variously characterized as promiscuous, immature, undecided, treacherous, cowardly, and carriers of AIDS into the straight community. Conversely, and even more recently, they are being hailed not only as one of the most politically radical of all sexual minorities, but provocatively and sexually postmodern as well.
